Here With Me (AMBER PLEASE POST)

OOC: It is a song I'm listening to.


BIC: Larkwing walked to the barren tree. It became her favorite spot in the whole territory. Lately, Larkwing has been feeling down. She found Rainpaw, and now, he doesn't want to talk to her. Settingsoul goes off on her own more and more often, always coming back late into the night, and she wasn't that social. She knew everybody's name and stuff, knew everybody's scent, but had never talked to them. She sighed, exasperated, dissappointed, and sad.

Cemetarygrave slowly approached the she-cat standing by the Frozen Willow. As he came closer, he recognized her as Larkwing. His gaze strayed to the once deadly tree, and flashed warningly, but she was not turned his way. He quickened his pace, coming to stand beside her. "Be careful around here," he warned, "Swanwing came and she died because of it. Deadly nightshade powder is sprinkled around its roots.

Larkwing turned to look at Cemetarygrave. Her eyes were wide with surprise. "Wasn't she your foster mother?" She gently prodded.

[Amber]

"Yes," Cemetarygrave stated sadly, "She was." He fell silent, looking away and lost in thought. Memories flooded his mind, both good and bad.

Larkwing nodded sympathtically. "My mother died young as well." She murmured, staring at the ground. She had a distant look on her face. You could easily read the emotion in her face. It contorted in pain and misery.

[Amber]

Cemetarygrave snapped back to reality, looking at Larkwing concernedly. "What?" he asked, moving closer to her. His eyes were filled with worry. "What is it? I'm sorry about your mother."

She gently shook her head, and slowly placated herself. "It was a long time ago... My father hated me and my mother loved me. He ended up killing her. Me and my brothers ran away.... Now, I live here, and don't know where my brothers are." She murmured. Suddenly, her eyes flashed briefly. Except for Rainpaw... Oh Brackenpaw, where are you...? She thought.
Still looking away, she asked, "What happened to your mother and Swanwing? I get stories, but I would like to hear it from you."

[Amber]

"Well," Cemetarygrave meowed, "My mother, my real mother, was a great leader. She ruled for 2 terms, but during her 3rd she was unfairly murdered by the Empty leader Kwt341. You might have heard tales of her, since sometimes she was referred to as a legend, because of how long her leadership lasted and the deeds she did. I was only a kit when she died, so I don't remember much, but other cats tell me she was a wise and understanding she-cat." He paused, lost in thought, then continued. "And Swanwing. Swanwing...she meant more to me than even my real mother, I'm afraid to admit. She was my real mother, or so I thought. I was too young to remember that Fearowstar was my true, blood mother. Well, anyway, Swanwing died during me, Allureblaze, Streambreeze, and Sunshine's apprentice ceremony. She was affected by the poisons here."

Larkwing nodded. "Don't hate to admit that. Fearowstar may have been wise, and even a legend, but she was a leader. She had responsibilities, even if she wasn't murdered. And I heard of all the stories that Swanwing has done to protect every kit that went motherless. She is the cat that inspired me to do many things." She finally turned to emetarygrave, and she realized how she noticed how handsome he was. Huh..... She thought, awestucked.

[Amber]

Cemetarygrave nodded, then paused, wondering. "Hey," he meowed, "Have you ever got the feeling...Fearowstrike seems like she knows more than she's telling? I think she may...well, my mother was bitten in the neck by an Empty, the bite that killed her. Fearowstrike has a scar in the same exact place." He stopped talking, blinking. "Maybe its a coincedence."

Larkwing shook her head gently. "Maybe not... Have you noticed there are a lot of cats being born that look like a past life...?" She looked away darkly. A dark cloud erupted inside her. She'd better watch it or she could possibly become evil.
